That’s been one of the strategies to help me cope with my ADD: turning my most visited services into standalone apps, and forbid to open links outside the domain in those apps.
I use Fluid in Mac, although IIRC there was a non trivial way to create them using Firefox.
Yup. In our case, tablets are forbidden on weekdays, but we allow them to use the appletv because we can control what they are doing/watching. I’ll be happy to pay a lifetime membership once it’s released there.
BoS 2012? I was there and that presentation changed my way on how to (re)think about users interactions with products. I don’t exaggerate if I say that the ROI of attending that event (if only for her session) has been well over 1000x
Apart from those, I’d suggest to take a look to Integromat. Their “http module” (a UI for a curl-like service) is really handy when you want to interact with a 3rd party service that hasn’t been integrated yet.
We currently have one paid plan without any restrictions, so there´s no much to show. If you are a "standard plan" user, you'll see a trial countdown notification at the top bar and your payment options at your account preferences. If you have a HN account, you won't see anything of this.
If you have specific doubts regarding to your account status, send us an email to contact_At_ducksboard.com
Ooops... I think we have a wrong message in our site: it's not in our plans to sell widgets (or put limitations on the # of them you can use). Probably the word "marketplace" isn't appropriate. Calling it "directory" suits better our intentions.
Also, it's not really a contest. For us is to have fun, play with cutting-edge technology, make interesting things and just hack.
I see your point about pricing, but we can only say at this stage that we are validating the final one and it will be affordable. Hope this helps to explain our view.
It's free during the beta... and someday we'll start charging. There's nothing more I can say you now except:
- We are validating the pricing, and it will cost like any other SaaS (different plans segmented on features and affordable [monthly fee like 1-2 hours of typical salary outside SiliconValley :D]
- If you are in the Hackathon, we will forget to send you any invoice during some months ;)
